【英译汉】

我曾说：每个工匠都在寻找不存在的东西来实践他的技艺。

建筑工人寻找屋顶坍塌的烂洞。

挑水工人选择空罐。

木匠停在没有门的房屋。

——鲁米(Roxana译)

I’ve said before that every craftsman

searches for what’s not there

to practice his craft.

A builder looks for the rotten hole

where the roof caved in. A water-carrier

picks the empty pot. A carpenter

stops at the house with no door.
